Nigerian Biochemist Sets New Guinness World Record with 75 Hours Video Game Marathon
Oside Oluwole, a Nigerian biochemist and automobile dealer known as Khoded, has recently achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new world record recognized by the Guinness World Records.
At just 24 years old, Oluwole successfully completed a marathon gaming session lasting an astonishing 75 hours, focusing on a popular soccer video game and engaging in over 500 matches during his marathon session.
This accomplishment surpasses the previous record of 50 hours, which was set by Englishman David Whitefoot back in 2022.
Oluwole’s determination to break this record was not merely for personal glory but also as a means to raise funds for a local hospital in his hometown of Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria.
The Guinness World Records highlighted Oluwole’s achievement, noting that his achievement stands out for the substantial margin by which he exceeded the previous record.
Initially set at 24 hours in 2010, the endurance record for continuous gaming has seen several challengers over the years, gradually increasing to 50 hours before Oluwole’s remarkable 75-hour milestone.
This impressive display of endurance and skill in gaming has garnered widespread recognition and serves as a testament to Oluwole’s commitment to both his passion for gaming and his community.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
